You are going to be ok because you are in PA.Is the sawdust exposure high enough to be hazardous? Also, do we spend enough time breathing in 2 stroke exhaust for it to be harmful?

For sure but sitting in a office all day is worse. When I raced MX had to work out several times a week and risk being killed every week but then sitting home eating pizza and drinking beer might shorten my life even more.

I am almost 70 and I have had many near death situations. I started cutting trees part time more than fifty years ago and started selling wood more than fifty years ago. For thirty years divided my time between cutting wood and laying asphalt products. So to relieve stress raced drag bikes and raced MX so can not think of any thing safer. After thirty years of racing and attending ten funerals a year being concerned about what and how I breath does not seem to be a very big priority. ThanksSmoking and drinking is more harmful, who cares? Plus, you could be at risk of having an accident during this class more quickly than smoke and vibrations
I read somewhere about rotting wood being cut and the dust from that was fatal..quickly! There was some microbe or mold in the rotten wood and it was extremely dangerous. The article said it was kinda common mold or microbe but airborne from cutting turned into dust and inhaled was the key.
I'm fine after 30 years but after reading this....I feel like it's a good reason to raise prices just to be safe.
Just kidding.
I dont know about any of you guys but limbing blue spruce is hard on my eyes and nasal passages. I dont worry about it and i agree that i am at a higher risk from injury. I did buy a bunch of battery saws last year that i really enjoy. Being a residential company, I dont think i am exposed to too much emissions. Yesterday, for example, we did a large oak. I used my battery saws and had it to a standing pole by 10 am. I drove the bucket back and grabbed my machine. Dropped the base and hauled the logs. That was about 8 cuts. It took me about 6 more cuts to get the stump prepped for grinding. I worked 13 hours and only did saw work intermittently for two of them. I do care about my health though. I guess its all relative.
